Late last summer Leigh and I took a journey from Portland up to Seattle and caught the Fauntleroy ferry to Vashon Island – the rural, southern-most island in Puget Sound.

Monster Children covered the story on their blog as well as in print for Issue 42, which is available at newsstands now.

Leigh and I spent last weekend with some dear friends in their new home state of New Mexico. After a late winter snow in Santa Fe cleared we trekked into the mountains and explored the towns of Chimayo and Truchas.
